Crowdfunding Campaign launched for PYO France tour

The ESNCM has set up a crowdfunder campaign to help cover the costs of Palestinian young musicians to participate in the Palestine Youth Orchestra workshop and tour of 2015, which will take place in France from 17 - 30 August. The workshop will take place in Aix-en-Provence, and will be followed by a concert tour to include Aix, Lyon, Rennes and Paris. The concert program will include Tchaikovsky's 2nd symphony, the Overture to King Lear by Berlioz, opera arias by Gounod and Verdi, and the French Premiere of "Baalbeck" by the Palestinian-Lebanese composer Naji al-Hakim. The orchestra will be be led by the French conductor Nicolas Simon. 
 
A target of $5000 has been set, and the money will go to paying the travel expenses of particular musicians from Gaza, Egypt and the West Bank. Please help the ESNCM to provide this unique musical, cultural and educational experience to Palestine's young musicians.
